Mite Goal |
 |
|
Mites - coins, dollars, and checks -
collected in mite boxes fund mission grants. At the
Washington-Alaska District LWML Convention in June 2006,
delegates selected mission grant recipients for the 2006-2008
biennium totaling $76,000. You can view a listing of the
mission grant recipients on this website at the “Mission Grants”
button.
In addition to funding district mission
grants, this district also sends 25% of all the mites we receive
to LWML to help fund mission grants and in-reach activities and
programs on the national level. The projected 25% for this
biennium is $38,250. During the last biennium, the actual
amount was $36,230.
Besides funding district mission grants and
sending 25% to LWML, mites also fund district in-reach
activities and programs. These in-reach activities and programs
are necessary for our district to function as it helps zones,
societies and members work together to let our light shine to
those who need Christ as their Savior. The activities include
printing and mailing of the district newsletter, the Evergreen
Echoes; officer and committee expenses; travel reimbursement for
Board members to Board of Directors meetings, zone rallies, and
for MMV Consultants; and training of our Board members.
Anticipated cost of in-reach activities and programs for this
biennium is $35,000.
When added together, these three amounts
are the total 2006-2008 mite goal of $149,250 for the
Washington-Alaska District. This is an increase of about $5,500
over the mites gathered in the 2004-2006 biennium. Every
biennium, delegates at convention vote to step out in faith to
increase their mite giving.
With God, ALL things are possible! With
God, we WILL reach and exceed our mite goal! |
